The Survivor Goddess - She who Carries Phoenix Medicine

We ALL have a Story, filled with ups and downs, trials and tribulations, joys and accomplishments. I myself believe that it is possible to re-write our story, in essence I think that do-overs can happen. It doesn't erase the previous chapters, but allows us to grow toward loftier heights as well as deeper in the soul.

These beliefs are what led me to the creation of the "Survivor Goddess" - She who Carries Phoenix Medicine. She is the 11th Goddess in my watercolor painting series "30 Goddesses in 30 Days". I love that she emerged as number 11, such a meaningful number in numerology.

[The Number 11 is a Master Number, symbolic of New Beginnings. It is one of a pure and intuitive heart. Often we can go through periods of time when the number 11 presents itself to us seemingly everywhere, signaling to me that our guardians are watching over us, sending us messages, and confirming our path.]

Here, the Survivor Goddess, has just realized her journey by connecting with Phoenix medicine in a dream. This initial meeting offers the energy of the phoenix in shades of blue (symbolic of the dream state) instead of its usual colors of red.

The Phoenix teaches her that no matter what, she can climb from the rubble and rise from the ashes in order to re-invent herself. Life is change, and we always have the opportunity to not only change because of necessity, but to change hand in hand with our dreams and ideals. The phoenix reminds her, if you're going to do it...do it right, do it big, and do it with love. "It's your Story...make it a good one."

When she wakes in the morning, she will remove her sleep mask, but the phoenix medicine will remain deep in her soul.

This painting is dedicated to all the Survivors out there.

It's your story, make it a good one.

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be. The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...

New Year Quest to Organize and Simplify

I'm spending the remainder of the year trying to make life easier, simplify, organize, with the eternal quest to find more time in my day. So many hours are spent now on social media that I strive to find the balance between creating and connecting. The past few months my blogs have suffered from this, my writing being sporadic. I'm committing to get back to my consistency with the blogging, as it has always been one of my first loves....and especially the time reading my favorite blogs. I found Bloglovin where I can keep track of my favorite reads nicely, in one simple clean format. I hope this helps on my quest. Back to organizing :) Peace and Love http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13296731/?claim=mn4sk8qx4fb
